I only last year realized that if Charlie hadn't gone back to get a candybar for his Grandpa, because he's a pure kind boy, he'd have never gotten the ticket.

I met Mike Teevee and Veruca Salt in real life a few years ago; the actors who played them did a tour around the US, visiting the theaters in the Alamo Drafthouse chain. After showing the movie, they interviewed them, and then they let folks meet them in the lobby and take photos with them, etc. It was pretty fun. 🙂

Amazing experiences ❤

This is one of the movies that was on television annually during the 1970s. Growing up with this movie bonded a generation of children and endeared Gene Wilder to us as a beloved, if eccentric, uncle. Another great family movie we enjoyed annually, which you might enjoy for a reaction is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), based upon the 1964 novel by Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond 007. (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is also a musical, starring Dick Van Dyke.)

As someone born in 1966, a big Yes to all of this! Gene Wilder will always be Willy Wonka to me. When he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he kept it quiet because he didn’t want to sadden or worry any of his young fans who also came to know him as Willy Wonka.

As a kid I hated watching kids films like this 😂 . I preferred watching fun war films with my dad. Kelly's Heroes, Where Eagles Dare etc.

It was Gene Wilder's idea for Willy Wonka to make his appearance with a gimpy leg and then do a summersault and end up walking normally. The reason was, because from that point on, nobody would be able to tell whether Wonka was telling the truth or lying. This was the only movie Peter Ostrum (Charlie Bucket) ever made. After this movie, he left show business to become a veterinarian.

R.I.P To A Great Actor Gene Wilder, Still Miss You Always 😢

Hollywood never knows when to quit, and after Gene Wilders performance here, they should have stopped making movie using this IP. Not that it was a perfect adaptation of the book, as I've heard the author didn't care for it, but because Gene owned this role. One of the few kids movies that may have been even better for adults, as this movie pulled no punches and was all the better for it.

Yea, this is bssically a Christmas movie

All the location work for this film was done in Germany. Munich, Bavaria and the Bavarian studios. Watching this, an adult can see that the architecture is very european. Of course, I didn't really think about that as a kid when I watched this the first time. I wasn't born yet when this premiered, so my first experience of it was on video later. This is a Gene Wilder classic! I love his performance here.

Uncle Joe spent 20 years bed bound with 3 other people then Charlie got a golden ticket he goes right into a song and dance number

All 5 of these kids remained friends to this day. Great feel good movie 😅

Fun fact. Gene Wilder loved kids and was really good at entertaining them, but he also had trouble saying no to them. All the kid actors loved him and followed him around everywhere, so much that he couldn't get anything done and he didn't have the heart to tell them they were in the way. So the producers would periodically distract the children so he could sneak off and get some work done.

Fun fact. Roald Dahl, who wrote the book, wasn't happy with this movie adaption. The family wouldn't allow other productions until the Tim Burton one because it was more faithful to the book.

Walter Scharf composed the Wonka music. He also wrote music for the violent crime drama Walking Tall(1973).

The actress that played Veruca this was her first job and they told her to sing and gave her bullet points and she did that song, she’s brilliant

They put Violet into two halves of styrofoam. They hit her head on the door frame when they rolled her out.

The scene at 9:00 ... Keep in mind the level of inflation between then and now. That £1 raise is more like £5 today. That's a motivator

35:07 Julie Dawn Cole, who played Veruca Salt, performed the song "I Want It Now" on her 13th birthday.

I just watched a lesser-known but still entertaining Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) movie called "The Frisco Kid", which he made with Harrison (Han Solo) Ford.

The $3 million budget for the film came from "Quakers Oats". Hollywood changed in the 1970's. The "special Wonka chocolate bars" melted in the supermarket!!!

This is the only movie Peter Ostrum made. He later became a veterinarian in upstate New York.

Thus proving that he really was the sweet kid he played in the movie.

If you like singing them, if you haven’t already reacted to it, you would like Little Shop of Horrors. The first musical I liked as a kid was the first movie I’d seen where the songs actually helped propel the story; Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Great songs, comedy, and the manliest dance routines I’d ever seen.

Omg Emma iconic movie. This was filmed in Munich Germany

Grandpa Joe is a conman. Dude has been in bed for 20yrs while his family struggles. The second something good happens to Charlie, he's fine and ready to leech off him too. Then he tries to convince Charlie to do the wrong thing on multiple occasions.

21:20 - The whole limping walk and the somersault move was supposedly Gene Wilder's idea.

Richard pryor was a writer on blazzing saddles, him and gene wilder made a few movies in the late 60s early 80s, comedy fold all of em, my personal favorite is hear no evil, see no evil, gene wilder plays a deaf man and Richard Pryor plays a blind man and shenanigans happen

Emma One of "Wonka Kids", Charlie Bucket played by Peter Ostrum stated that he will make a cameo in new prequel, Wonka. Interesting note is that Peter gave up movie career after this classic. Studio offered him 5 movies deal. He declined the offer. Because Peter wanted normal childhood. But Peter has an interesting career in medical field. Peter is licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and has a practice in state of New York. Peter and other "kids" do comic conventions especially last year's 50th anniversary of Willy Wonka. All except Denise Nickerson (Violet) attended these conventions. Nickerson died in 2019 at the age of 62. I am curious if other "kids" would make cameos in the prequel.
